I’m a PhD student in economics. My research fields are development microeconomics, political economy, and spatial economics. My current work focuses on economic geography and agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Another research focuses on conflicts, insurgency, and terrorism in the developing world, theoretically and empirically.I hold B.S. in agriculture from Hokkaido University and M.Phil. in economics from the University of Tokyo. Prior to joining Brown, I worked in Delhi for a project lead by Japanese scholars to understand informality and preference heterogeneity of micro and small scale enterprises.
